[Intro] [Slow flamenco guitar solo, nylon strings pluck softly] [Warm upright bass enters, vinyl crackle fills the space] [Verse 1] Shadows stretching long across the floor The city hums but I am standing still The clock is ticking louder than before And winter whispers through the window sill The shadows stretch and pull against the wall The quiet evening swallows up the sound I listen close for any steps at all But only heavy silence can be found [Chorus] Oh the night is wide and so unkind A lonely room where memories replay I search the dark for what I left behind And watch the golden hours fade to gray The heavy silence settles in my chest The shadows stretch and pull against the wall A tired heart that cannot find its rest With only empty echoes left to fall [Outro] [Flamenco guitar takes the lead melody] [Upright bass rolls to a slow stop] [Fade out on an ambient pad]
